1. Who am I, and what is my family? (15-22)

How did David respond to the promise God gave him through Nathan? He went in and sat down before the Lord and prayed. He acknowledged his unworthiness and his gratitude. He remembered the greatness of God who redeemed Israel from Egypt and who made the people of Israel his own people forever. He remembered that God had done these things for the sake of his own name.

2. That your name be great forever (23-27)

God promised to build a house for David. David accepted this blessing, and prayed that God might do as he promised. He prayed that God might establish his kingdom forever, and make his own name great forever. David believed that God would keep his promise, and he believed that if God blessed him and his house, they would be blessed forever. We must have faith to claim God's promises.

Application: Lord, who am I, a wretched sinner, that the very Son of God should come and die for me? I believe your word and your promises. Glorify your own name.
One Word: For the sake of his name
